Jeong Jang double hit at US Open

May 12, 2020

round 3, hole 18, second shot is a double hit. Notice how even after seeing the replay she still thinks it was not a double hit. Later the USGA applied the penalty stroke anyway. The papers referred to Dec. 34-3/7, but personally I would refer to the next Decision, whereby the player should have been DQ-ed after all.

ban her from professional golf….are you fuckin kidding me?? she sits there a vind denies it after being shown clear as day in the video…ANY decent level player knows exactly when they double hit it…just a fat outright liar this woman is.

Cameras can show some strange things. I think we are being a little harsh. I am ALMOST certain that she hit it twice, but not virtually certain. This is why the official can't DQ, or penalize her. It really looks as though she is lying but we can't be certain. Therefore she deserves the benefit of the doubt on this one. We may want to take a look at her history as a golfer before we judge her character, and if a similar situation were to arise again it will be far more difficult to assert her innocence.

Clearly a penalty. When you double hit a ball you always know unless you're a 60 handicap. Besides, from that lie the double hit may have saved her at least a stroke. That ball was likely going back in the hay.
